Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" with his eager new assistant, Arkwright, he leaves Will Henry in New York. Finally, Will can enjoy something that always seemed out of reach: a normal life with a real family. But part of Will can't let go of Dr. Warthrop, and when Arkwright returns claiming that the doctor is dead, Will is devastated--and not convinced.
Determined to discover the truth, Will travels to London, knowing that if he succeeds, he will be plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far. His journey will take him to Socotra, the Isle of Blood, where human beings are used to make nests and blood rains from the sky--and will put Will Henry's loyalty to the ultimate test.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This was the longest book in the series. There is, naturally, a lot of danger. We see many characters from the first two books in here as well: John Kearns, Abraham Von Helrung, and Lilly Bates, just to name a few. It all starts with a mysterious Englishman showing up on Dr. Warthrop's doorstep with a package from John Kearns for him. That package causes Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop to end up traversing the world in search of the Holy Grail of monstrumology: the magnificum.
Once again, the reader is taken on a journey which poses some pretty deep questions of morality and ethics. Who would you choose: the lady or the tiger? That is the decision Will Henry must make many times throughout the story. Definitely worth the read. I'm excited to read the final volume in this series!
You can purchase The Isle of Blood through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
